Yes, this worked perfectly! Thank you so much; I didn't know you could define layers like this :>

Further experimentation with this rather frustrating issue: * The dialogue window is actually firmly in place; I just didn't see it because my background was black. Now that it's grey I can see I was wrong. * Displayables like images or text outside of the dialogue window that were previously shown ...

I'd like the image to show up at that point in the text regardless of the player's chosen text speed, so unless the text can create a signal that the ATL image timer can catch and run at, I think it's probably easier to somehow force the text box ignore the dissolve transition?

Oh extend is great and very close to what I wanted exactly. However, I tried both of your suggestions and in both cases the dialogue box flickers out of existence when it reaches that {nw} tag, and returns the moment the image begins to fade in, even though no "window hide" command has bee...

Hey folks! Been a long time since I messed around with Ren'py. I was wondering if there's a way to display an image whilst in the middle on a dialogue box without having to break it up? Perhaps adding code within the quotation marks that forms the what of a dialogue box? Sort of like this: speaker &...

Hey folks! Lately I've been thinking about cross-pollination and engines. I've been using twine, bitsy, ren'py, godot, quest (in a very basic capacity) and they're all fun platforms to make things with. They have their own limitations and specialisations, unique flavours. Recently I've seen a couple...

Couldn't you, when the player has chosen a name for the list, jump to a label (or any similar segment, or just directly below,) that checks for which name has been added, and then go directly to a "recruit Carlos" section?

You can just add a regular if condition into the script. if MetBefore == False: npc "Halt, stranger!" pc "Wait, I am no foe!" else: npc "Halt" pc "C'mon, Jeff, it's just me." #The conversation carries on as normal here, regardless of what the check produced pc...

Sorry for necroing this thread yet again , but for me this is a recurring issue that none of the above solutions have fixed so far. I would have thought that a modal screen should suffice, but nope.. Modal screen, screen that turns off key inputs, screen with a transparent button that does nothing, ...

Create a function then put the codes there. Ah shoot! This is exactly the kind of thing I wanted; so much easier to boil something that'll be repeated a hundred times as a function. Thank you for taking your time with this! And for fitting #comments into the code; I actually get what's happening in...

Using an if statement is the right call. [...] Or... since it is a simple statement, you can even use a shorthand for this. Using a ternary operator. These worked, but not in the way I had intended; they only stopped the player from using a heal if their health was over the max, or rather, they wou...

Hey all! A while back I got help figuring out how to do a max-cap on a random int variable "dice roll". This question is similar, but probably equally simple to solve. The active example is a character casting a healing spell, and getting some HP back. I would like the added health not to ...

@philat, @hell_oh_world: Thanks to both of you! A little bit of reading and fiddling later, I got everything to work out exactly the way I want it, and have some basic style understanding now. For others in the same position: I used "window_yalign" and "what_xpos" to adjust what ...

Hey everyone! Hopefully an easy one: I want to change the place where the say screen appears (gui.textbox_yalign, and the gui.dialogue.xpos/ypos), depending on the speaker. For the protagonist, always up top (0). For anyone else, at the bottom (1.0). But I cannot for the life of me figure out how to...

How would you make two transforms run simultaneously, but separate of one another? As an example, I have a speech bubble crop up that I'd like to fade out after about 5 seconds. The player doesn't have to read it or click it away. This speech bubble is happening outside of screens/under a regular sc...
